Overview
18th century Former farmhouse in Hautefort, Dordogne, Aquitaine/Dordogne, France - The Perfect Place To Unwind!
We spent a romantic week in Lachaud in 1993 & fell in love with this house, the area & above all the people! By the end of the week we had secured our little patch of France! The house had not been occupied for over 30 years & was in desperate need of some TLC! Blood, sweat, tears & lots of laughter have transformed it into the wonderful home you see today & we look forward to welcoming you! The accommodation is equally suited to extended families, friends or couples. With its 5 Ensuite bedrooms & large living areas there's plenty of space for everyone. The beautiful countryside will appeal to nature lovers & offers fantastic walking, cycling, bird watching & photography opportunities. If culture & History is more you, you'll be just 20mins drive from UNESCO's World Heritage Site of Lascaux & the Vézère Valley. We do not live on site and we'll leave you to privately enjoy your holiday, we are however only a phone call away should you have any problems or need advice. Pets welcome!

Perfect extended family retreat
This property was a perfect family holiday. We had two young kids and it had everything we could possibly need to make it an easy and enjoyable stay.
We all loved lounging by the pool in such a stunning setting.
The house is big enough that if you want to get some quiet time you can find an area alone to relax. We look forward to returning again!
Sally was a pleasure to deal with when we had questions.
Beautiful house in a beautiful location
There were 10 of us staying at the farmhouse with ages ranging from 2 - 70. And it was just perfect for our family. There was plenty of room for us all to spend time together and for times when we needed our own space.
The accomodation was exactly as described in a beautiful location. The village itself was a little isolated but was within easy reach of a supermarket, petrol stations, lovely restaurants and delicious bakeries. There were so many activities to do in the area for all of us, ranging from markets, canoeing, aquariums / animal parks, castles, waterparks and paintballing or just walking in the surrounding villages. I'd recommend looking for events in the local area, especially during the summer. We found posters advertising all different kinds of events and had a fabulous evening watching a light show on the Saint Sour church in Terrason and an international cultural festival celebrating art, dance and music in the nearby town of Motignac. Both of which we would not have known about otherwise.
The house was well maintained and had everything we could possibly need. Plenty of pots, pans and cooking utensils & the BBQ was a good size. The pool was cleaned twice while we were there and a problem with the pool heating, after an electrical storm, was sorted straight away. There were plenty of board games for us all to play together if the weather wasn't great, or in the evenings after a BBQ.
I would highly recommend this property. It's a beautiful house in a beautiful area.
Delightful home in Perigord.
Absolutely fantastic house which is more like a home than a holiday house. Beautifully furnished with great taste in quiet hamlet that is so restful. This is a property which wants for nothing and ideal for large groups as we were. Fun BBQ by the pool in a secluded area...just perfect. We will be back!!!!
A perfect, peaceful stay!
We loved staying in this beautiful house and it's peaceful surroundings. The house has been lovingly restored and is extremely comfortable. We particularly loved the terrace & swimming pool with areas to suit all - some sun, some shade & some in between.
The area is very rural but close enough to local amenities and for day trips. We had a lovely peaceful day kayaking down the Vezere (somewhat quieter than the Dorgogne - we observed from the beautiful gardens Marqueyssac!!)
We enjoyed visiting Hautefort & had a very special meal at Auberge du Parc - would highly recommend!
A wonderful time had by all - thank you John & Sally!
Restful stay in France
We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse. The house is well equipped and the location is in a very peaceful setting.
An amazing holiday home.
This is the second year we have visited Lachaud and it is just as fantastic. The house has everything you could possibly need and more. The location is perfect for us, nice and quiet but just a short drive to shops and towns. The provision for our toddler was great with cot and highchair and the pool was amazing, the perfect place for a family holiday and I'm sure we will be back again.

Distances:
By car:
Hautefort 10 mins, Montignac Lascaux 20 mins, Terrasson 30 mins, Sarlat 45mins
Périgueux 40mins Brive 40mins.
Further Details:
There is just so much to do in the Dordogne it is impossible to mention it all!
The Périgord is famed for its food & hospitality & the excellent local restaurants & Auberge are too numerous to mention here, more details are available at the house. Perigueux & Sarlat markets are not to be missed!
Canoeing down the Vézère river is a must whatever your age! Passing by fabulous countryside, châteaux & historic villages. Stop for a swim & a pique-nique; it really is delightful! Book with any of the local centres, canoes, oars, lifejackets and waterproof containers are all supplied. Start at Montignac and select your distance depending on your group, the canoe company will then pick you up and bring you back to your car.
L'Appell de la Forêt at Thenon 10 mins away, is suitable for those aged 7 to 70! A little too high for me! though the children love it and even hubby made it to the hardest stage!
There are reportedly 1001 châteaux in the Dordogne - you'll need more than a fortnight to see them all! The local ones are Hautefort, Château de Losse and Château d'Eyrignac.
Limeuil, situated where the Rivers Dordogne and Vézère meet is classed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. A bustling river port of old, the medieval village with its stone-built, dark-tiled houses so typical of Périgord Noir is now a charming, refreshing place in which to stop and the evening market is a must.
Caves and caverns are everywhere in this region, they are all spectacular; Tourtoirac is the closest and is accessible to all including pushchairs.
I could go on and on! But I'll let you discover all that the Perigord has to offer - you'll be amazed!
